Can you link them? I suspect they where showing 2100’s, but you are recalling them as 2010’s.

We are a little above the 1990 IPCC predictions for sea level rise, but 1-2mm per year was never going to produce drastic changes in 30 years.

PS: It’s actually CO2 releases that are significantly below projections. Considering this was in many ways an intentional change, it’s hard to call old CO2 predictions wrong, just pessimistic.

I'm afraid I cannot provide links to original material from my childhood 25-30 years ago, no.

I do explicitly remember seeing predictions of this sort of doom which were well within my lifetime, though.
